Borrone MarketBar soft opens in Menlo

Uploaded: Feb 19, 2014

Borrone MarketBar, the next-door brainchild eatery from Cafe Borrone owners Marina Borrone and Josh Pebbles, soft opened last week and is continuing with limited hours this week.

The market, which sells take-home food items, is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The "Bar Eatery" (with table service) will be open the same days from 3 to 9 p.m. Both are serving food and drink with an Italian tilt.

"As we progress and develop our staff, our hours will extend," a Feb. 13 Facebook post reads. "It is a work in progress. Eventually we will be open Tuesday-Saturday and always closed Sunday, Monday."
